  • Understanding Engine Oil Viscosities: A Visual Guide

    If you've ever wondered about the different types of engine oil and what those strange numbers and letters mean, you're not alone. Engine oil is a vital component of your vehicle, and choosing the right type is crucial for its performance and longevity. In this blog post, we'll break down the basics of engine oil viscosities using a visual guide.

    What is Engine Oil Viscosity?

    Viscosity refers to the thickness or thinness of a liquid. In the context of engine oil, it's how easily the oil flows at different temperatures. This is important because your engine experiences a wide range of temperatures, from freezing cold on a winter morning to extremely hot under heavy load.

    The Numbers in Engine Oil Grades

    Engine oil grades are typically expressed as two numbers separated by a "W," such as 5W-30 or 10W-40. Let's break down what these numbers mean:
    * The First Number (Before the W): This number indicates the oil's cold-temperature performance. A lower number means the oil flows more easily in cold weather, allowing for quicker lubrication and easier starting.
    * The Second Number (After the W): This number represents the oil's high-temperature performance. A higher number means the oil can withstand higher temperatures without breaking down, providing better protection for your engine under heavy load.

    The Visual Guide

    The image you provided illustrates the concept of viscosity in a clear and concise way. It shows five different engine oil grades: 5W-30, 5W-40, 10W-40, 15W-40, and 20W-50. As you can see, the oil with the lower first number (5W-30) flows more easily at colder temperatures, while the oil with the higher second number (20W-50) maintains its thickness at higher temperatures.

    Choosing the Right Engine Oil

    The best engine oil for your vehicle will depend on several factors, including:
    * Climate: If you live in an area with extreme cold or heat, you'll need to choose an oil that can handle those conditions.
    * Driving Conditions: If you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic or tow heavy loads, you'll need an oil that can withstand high temperatures and prevent oil breakdown.
    * Vehicle Manufacturer's Recommendations: Always consult your vehicle's owner's manual for the recommended oil type and viscosity.
    By understanding engine oil viscosities and following the recommendations of your vehicle's manufacturer, you can ensure that your engine is properly lubricated and protected, extending its lifespan and improving its performance.

  • June 5, 2001, Turk drops his debut album, "Young & Thuggin'" on Cash Money & Universal Records. It was produced entirely by Mannie Fresh. Among the guests featured on the album were his fellow Hot Boys, the Big Tymers and Mack 10. Young & thuggin basically sums up Turk's profile as a rap artist. With his first solo album, Turk gets the chance to distinguish himself as his Hot Boys brethren Lil Wayne. He's also the last Hot Boy to have a solo album and seemingly the one with the most to prove. Despite making his debut on Juvenile’s 1997 album "Solja Rags", he’s been the Hot Boy to get the least time on the microphone as well as their group efforts and his absence from several live dates and other obligations has led to speculation about his future career. But for now, it’s all on him to get his shine. It's never easy for young artists to find their own voice, especially when they’re part of a successful artistic family. If they seek to profit from their family ties, they shouldn’t venture off too far on their own. One of the reasons Cash Money has been so successful these past years is their strong corporate identity. When you buy one of their albums, you just know things will be kept in the family with the Hot Boys and Big Tymers making guest appearances on each other’s albums and Mannie Fresh supplying the beats. Even though change is not always a good thing, that’s what I expect when I buy Cash Money product. Like the Wu-Tang Clan πŸ‘πŸΎ, each member claims to host a different chamber, they still all live under the same roof. The Clan ultimately conquered the world with their unique corporate identity. But just like the Wu-Tang temple has undergone renovations and expansions, the Cash Money aural residence is experiencing makeovers, however at a much smaller scale. On Turk's debut album, Mannie Fresh supplies all the beats and the Cash Money Millionaires still crowd the guest spots. One of the things I like about Mannie Fresh is he continues to make good beats, but he adds more variations to them. The three dominant/prominent hip-hop producers of today, Swizz Beatz, Timbaland and Mannie Fresh, all have one thing in common: they prefer spending their time hitting keyboards and programming drum machines rather than digging in the crates for samples. When it comes to making beats, dope samples are necessary to make a dope album especially if you have a good ear πŸ‘‚πŸΎ for music. That’s why his tracks work on parallel levels: they float and bounce at the same time, they soothe and stir at the same time. You don’t have to go further into "Young & Thuggin'" than "Bout to Go Down", where all these qualities come into effect. He’s also great at creating moods. Check the trouble-seeking “Yes We Do” that he laces with melodies that could come straight off Giorgio Moroder’s "Scarface" soundtrack. Or the playfully confrontational "Wanna Be Down". With a rapper like Turk and a producer like Mannie Fresh the beats will always be more interesting than the rhymes. Unless the producer seriously slips and/or the rapper surpasses himself unexpectedly. That does not mean that these two don’t belong together. You wouldn’t wanna hear a backpack rapper kicking his rhymes over these beats. It just wouldn’t sound right. While Turk and Mannie might not be the perfect combination like the other Hot Boys paired with Mannie are, they’re a good combination. As far as rapping goes, you're not missing anything lyrically. Some have it and some don't. Don’t bother looking for intricate plots, ill similes and clean-cut rhymes on this album. There’s not many. If you’re not into this thug thing and scapegoat Cash Money for all that’s wrong with hip-hop just because their infamous ‘bling-bling’ term stuck in your head, then you’re not trying to pick this album up anyway. With Turk's style of rapping, it's definitely what you'll expect from a representative of the Cash Money roster. Check the steadily rising and lowering delivery in the current single "It’s in Me" that gives you a sensation as if you’re gently hit by a wave of word sound every other bar. In Mannie Fresh’s soulful and spicy orchestration, the rappers play their parts just like all the other instruments. Like the other Hot Boys, Turk does not have the same amount of rapping skills at close inspection. A perfect example is the song "Untamed Guerilla". He keeps the same composure, whether he’s aggravated or peaceful. At the extremes of the lyrical spectrum there are rappers who bring up a new topic in every line on one side, and on the other side there are those who use a whole song to make the same claims over and over again. Once you grasp the idea of the song, you feel like you don’t have to listen to the lyrics anymore. If you remember the song "No Endz, No Skinz" by the late Big L (R.I.P.)πŸ™πŸΎπŸ•―πŸ•Š, that was based on the statement that you can’t get any female πŸ‘±πŸΎβ€β™€οΈ companionship if you have no money . L kept repeating himself, but you kept listening for how he was going to word it. There are also songs on "Young & Thuggin'" I can totally appreciate. "Trife Livin'" showcases what originally made Cash Money great: conveying a feeling through track and melodic flow alone. “What Would You Do” seeks the listener’s participation in a suspenseful tale where drug business and personal business conflict with each other. The closing "Hallways & Cuts" provides a haunting experience as Mickey, B.G. and Turk, wrapped in a spooky aural aura, describe in stunning detail what’s going on in them project hallways, corridors and cuts. The most solid cut on this album has to be the simply titled "Project". Hakiem of the Capos works the chorus, which makes for a nice change. Apart from that the track is all left to Turk who gives his best performance, changing up his melodic flow while Mannie’s track hits you from all angles: it’s melodic yet thumping and smooth yet sharper than a muthafuckin' butcher knife. From when the only recognizable voice in the Hot Boys used to be Juvenile to now that we know each member from solo efforts, I’ll admit that Turk fits nicely into the Cash Money corporate identity. I ain't gonna say he's the weakest link of the crew, but together with the rest of the Hot Boys, they pull it off well. The story of Cash Money Records has been one of sudden and continued success and I don’t see it about to end as long as their main asset, the music, continues to be as entertaining. I’ve come across so many CMR-related screen names on the internet. If you’re a real fan, go support Turk and buy this album.

  • Things You Probably Never Knew About The Great Lakes


    1. Lake Superior is actually not a lake at all, but an inland sea .
    2. All of the four other Great Lakes, plus three more the size of Lake Erie, would fit inside of Lake Superior.
    3. Isle Royale is a massive island surrounded by Lake Superior. Within this island are several smaller lakes. Yes, that’s a lake on a lake.
    4. Despite its massive size, Lake Superior is an extremely young formation by Earth’s standards (only 10,000 years old).
    5. There is enough water in Lake Superior to submerge all of North and South America in 1 foot of water.
    6. Lake Superior contains 3 quadrillion gallons of water (3,000,000,000,000,000). All five of the Great Lakes combined contain 6 quadrillion gallons.
    7. Contained within Lake Superior is a whopping 10% of the world’s fresh surface water.
    8. It’s estimated there are about 100 million lake trout in Lake Superior. That’s nearly one-fifth of the human population of North America!
    9. There are small outlets through which water leaves Lake Superior. It takes two centuries for all the water in the lake to replace itself.
    10. Lake Erie is the fourth-largest Great Lake in surface area, and the smallest in depth. It’s the 11th largest lake on the planet.
    11. There is alleged to be a 30- to 40-foot-long “monster” in Lake Erie named Bessie. The earliest recorded sighting goes back as early as 1793.
    12. Water in Lake Erie replaces itself in only 2.6 years, which is notable considering the water in Lake Superior takes two centuries.
    13. The original publication of Dr. Seuss’s The Lorax contained the line, “I hear things are just as bad up in Lake Erie.”
    Fourteen years later, the Ohio Sea Grant Program wrote to Seuss to make the case that conditions had improved. He removed the line.
    14. Not only is lake Erie the smallest Great Lake when it comes to volume, but it’s surrounded by the most industry.
    Seventeen metropolitan areas, each with populations of more than 50,000, border the Lake Erie basin.
    15. During the War of 1812, the U.S. beat the British in a naval battle called
    the Battle of Lake Erie, forcing them to abandon Detroit.
    16. The shoreline of all the Great Lakes combined equals nearly 44% of the circumference of the planet.
    17. If not for the the Straits of Mackinac, Lake Michigan and Lake Huron might be considered one lake.
    Hydrologically speaking, they have the same mean water level and are considered one lake.
    18. The Keystone State was one of the largest and most luxurious wooden steamships running during the Civil War.
    In 1861, it disappeared. In 2013, it was found 30 miles northeast of Harrisville under 175 feet of water.
    19. Goderich Mine is the largest salt mine in the world. Part of it runs underneath Lake Huron, more than 500 meters underground.
    20. Below Lake Huron, there are 9,000-year-old animal-herding structures used by prehistoric people from when the water levels were significantly lower.
    21. There are massive sinkholes in Lake Huron that have high amounts of sulfur and low amounts of oxygen, almost replicating the conditions of Earth’s ancient oceans 3 million years ago. Unique ecosystems are contained within them.
    22. Lake Huron is the second largest among the Great Lakes, and the fifth largest in the world.
    23. In size, Lake Michigan ranks third among the Great Lakes, and sixth among all freshwater lakes in the world.
    24. Lake Michigan is the only Great Lake that is entirely within the borders of the United States.
    25. The largest fresh water sand dunes in the world line the shores of Lake Michigan.
    26. Because water enters and exits Lake Michigan through the same path, it takes 77 years longer for the water to replace itself than in Huron, despite their similarity in size and depth. (Lake Michigan: 99 years, Lake Huron: 22 years)
    27. When the temperature of Lake Michigan is below freezing, this happens.
    28. Within Lake Michigan there is a “triangle” with a similar reputation to the Bermuda Triangle, where a large amount of “strange disappearances” have occurred. There have also been alleged UFO sightings.
    29. Singapore, Mich., is a ghost town on the shores of Lake Michigan that was buried under sand in 1871. Because of severe weather conditions and a lack of resources due to the need to rebuild after the great Chicago fire, the town was lost completely.
    30. In the mid-19th century, Lake Michigan had a pirate problem. Their booty: timber. In fact, the demise of Singapore is due in large part to the rapidly deforested area surrounding the town.
    31. Jim Dreyer swam across Lake Michigan in 1998 (65 miles), and then in 2003, he swam the length of Lake Michigan (422 miles).
    32. Lake Michigan was the location of the first recorded “Big Great Lakes disaster,” in which a steamer carrying 600 people collided with a schooner delivering timber to Chicago. Four hundred and fifty people died.
    33. Lake Ontario is the smallest of the Great Lakes in surface area, and second smallest in depth. It’s the 14th largest lake on the planet.
    34. The province Ontario was named after the lake, and not vice versa.
    35. In 1804, a Canadian warship, His Majesty’s Ship Speedy, sank in Lake Ontario. In 1990, wreck hunter Ed Burtt managed to find it.
    Only, he isn’t allowed to recover any artifacts until a government-approved site to exhibit them is found. He’s still waiting.
    36. Babe Ruth hit his first major league home run at Hanlan’s Point Stadium in Toronto. It landed in Lake Ontario and is believed to still be there.
    37. A lake on Saturn’s moon Titan is named after Lake Ontario.
